AUTHOR'S NOTE:

A graham cracker with peanut butter spread across it and chocolate chips sprinkled on top has been THE go-to snack for me ever since my mom first made the combo for my siblings and I. I firmly hold that, with a glass of milk, it is the perfect snack. :) Please try it and let me know what you think!

In this little poem, I attempted for each of the brief stanzas to follow the same rhythm with which we say, "Graham cracker, peanut butter, chocolate chips!" We would say that verbatim when referencing the beloved snack- with the word 'chocolate' often dropping to the only two-syllable version, 'chock-lit!' I think it's funny how simply blurting out the individual ingredients of this snack has become our primary way of referring to it - for example, one of us will just say, "Hey, do you want grahamcrackerpeanutbutterchocolatechips?" - so that's what inspired this funny little poem and its structure.

You may notice some stanzas have three syllables for the last line, while others have four. This is just a silly way for me to reference the inconsistency with which my family at least pronounces the word 'chocolate-' particulary when referencing the snack in question!

Thanks for reading! :)
